Education: Isolation Status for COVID Patients

Our Partners in West Florida Division have shared Education on Process Intervention Meditech Documentation for Isolation Status, Dx: COVID. 

Isolation Status-COVID

When documenting Process Interventions in Meditech for isolation status, please select one of the following for COVID patients:

1. “Contact” and “Droplet” Precautions
2. “Contact” and “Airborne” Precautions- if the patient requires a negative pressure room for aerosol-generating procedures, which includes BIPAP, CPAP, opening suctioning of airways, sputum induction, CPR, intubation/extubation, bronchoscopy, mechanical ventilation or high flow oxygen
   
   

If you select “Airborne” precautions, that means the patient has to go into a negative pressure room.

Thank YOU!
